Depends on your teacher. They are not all the same. Front office staff can be a little intrusive 70 percent of the time. But my daughters 2nd grade teacher was incredible. Which only made this years teacher stand out in the worst way.
Posted by a parent on 12/17/2025I wasn't impressed with the quality of learning being done at this school. Instead of trying to get my child ahead, I felt like they didn't work with him as much as they could have. If a child wants to learn and is doing the work without arguing, you continue to keep them at that pace individually s
Posted by a parent on 7/20/2013The principal is amazing caring and does his job but however the staff in the front office I do not care for at all, they let me small children walk home from school by themselves instead of keeping there there in the office until I got there since I was running late from a job..and if you are late

Posted by a community member on 10/29/2012Entire staff is caring and concerned about students. The teachers are dedicated and involved, motivated to help students. Principal's positive leadership reflected by teachers' positive attitudes and new programs. Although would benefit from increased parent involvement, the school has a strong PTA

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThere is no one superlative to describe the gem Panther Lake Elementary is to this community. The principal and academic team are champions for the success of our children. In my second year and nothing has waned. Keep up the great work PLE team.

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy child has special needs and I am so grateful for the teachers and staff at Soos Creek. They are patient and kind, offering encouraging words to my child and me as we navigate what services my child needs to help them learn effectively. They have a few special education programs at this school and bus in special education students from around the district because of the many resources they have at this school.Parent Review2y ago - Springbrook Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWOW! I love Springbrook! What a turn around it's made in the last few years! My daughter went to Springbrook and now my son goes there. I've always thought it was a great school, just underfunded and left behind by the district. They've made up for it! The teachers are wonderful, caring and focused on giving the kids the best education. The Principle Lloyd and Asst. Principle Couch are there everyday to greet the kids and are very involved with the day to day activities. Also the school has been retrofitted for safety which I love. Also a new cafeteria and a renewed landscape. Great school, wonderful diversity.Parent Review2mo ago - George T. Daniel Elementary School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI used to love this school but every since Mr. Kroll has retired, this school has went down considerably. The new principal does not have any authority and is not as involved with the children as Mr. Kroll. In addition to the teachers now "running" the school good help those children. In my honest and humble opinion, the teachers have turned into absolute bullies. This poor guy is letting them run that school into the ground. Funny how the wrong person in power can cause such a drastic change.Other Review2y ago - Sunbeams Lutheran School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSunbeam Lutheran is a wonderful school for my son. He thrives in a well structured environment not only equipped in well thought of curriculum, but also in creative and supportive background. The improvement in my son’s learning and social emotional maturity shown so much in the first year of his kindergarten year. Our teacher is also so wonderful and amazing with the kids! We definitely recommend this school!Parent Review1mo ago
